4/27/2017 Laura Boczek EPA 26 West Martin Luther King Drive Cincinnati OH 45268 Dear Laura, On November 11th 2010, BCR Environmental submitted an equivalent PFRP process proposal and was approved by the PEC as a process that was equivalent to a PFRP process in accordance with 40 CFR 503.32(a)(8). In order for the Neutralizer to be operating as an equivalent PFRP process, the following conditions must be met:

The Neutralizer process is to be used to treat waste activated sludge with a total solids

concentration less than or equal to 4%

Process Operations must be at a temperature greater than or equal to 15°C (59°F)

Following addition of stage 1 Oxidant (chlorine dioxide) ORP is required to be maintained

at a value greater than or equal to +100 mV ORP with a contact time at +100 mV ORP ≥ 1

hour

Stage 1 treatment is followed by Stage 2 treatment which is defined as Nitrite dose = 1500

mg/L sodium nitrite (NaNO2) with pH during NaNO2 contact time ≤ to 2.3s.u.

ORP during stage 2 must be > +100 mV and nitrite contact time at specified pH and ORP is

at least 6 hours

A limitation on the evaluation of the process was claimed by the EPA because the three facilities that conducted Neutralizer testing were done within the same county (Clay). Therefore, new installations of a Neutralizer process must demonstrate pathogen reduction by verifying somatic coliphage reduction when operating as above. Sampling and analysis of somatic phage must be conducted for a period of at least one year in accordance to the sampling method described at 40 CFR 503.16 (a). This approval letter is attached for your reference. BCR performed this testing over a period of 12 months at North Jenson WWTP (3100 NW Hillman Drive, Jensen Beach, FL 34957) and all analyses resulted in ‘non-detect’ or greater than a 3-log reduction (greater than 99.9% reduction) for somatic phage using ASTM 4994, the test results are summarized below:

10/11/2016 2250 ≤3.7

All samples were taken in accordance with sampling procedures detailed in the Neutralizer Process QAPP, which was previously approved by the PEC. All lab reports are also attached for your review. As BCR Environmental has met the requirements of this monitoring condition as specified in the National Equivalency approval letter dated Nov 16, 2010, we are requesting removal of the somatic phage sampling and analysis provision for the Neutralizer® process at these facilities. Sincerely,

Fred P Mussari

SYMBOL MEANING

B Results based on counts outside the acceptable range.

D Measurement was made in the field.

I

The reported value is between the laboratory method detection limit and the laboratory practical

quantitation limit.

J1 The sample matrix interfered with the ability to make any accurate determination.

J2 No Quality Control criteria exist for the component.

J3 The data are questionable because of improper laboratory or field protocols.

L Off scale high. Actual value is known to be greater than value given.

N

Presumptive evidence for the presence of material. There is an indication that the analyte is present,

but the confirmation requirement was not met.

O Sampled, but analysis not performed.

Q Sample held beyond the accepted holding time.

U

Indicates that the compound was analyzed for but not detected. The specified component was not

detected. The reported value is the method detection limit.

V Analyte was detected in both sample and associated method blank. Data may not be accurate.

Y The laboratory analysis was from an improperly preserved sample. The data may not be accurate.

Z

Too many colonies present (TNTC); the numeric value given represents the upper end of the value that

can be determined based on the volume.

?

Data are rejected and should not be used. QC data for analyte did not meet acceptance criteria.

Presence or absence of analyte could not be confirmed.

** Not reported due to interference.

! Data deviate from historically established concentration range.

# BCS Lab specific qualifier. See laboratory analysis notes.

I certify that I have examined I am familiar with the information submitted herein. The results pertain only to analyzed sample(s) associated identifier #(s). Based on my inquiry of the individuals responsible for the analysis, I believe the data to be true, accurate, complete. Sampling field data was obtained from submitted documents. The analysis was authorized commissioned by the client. The resulting data are representative of the analysis conducted on the material/samples/articles provided by the client (or client’s representative) it’s/their condition at the time of analysis. The sample(s) were analyzed in accordance with the appropriate method , however due to the inherent limitations of the methods, microorganisms may avoid detection. BCS Laboratories offers no express or implied warranties concerning the quality, safety, and/or purity of any sample, batch, source, or the process they are derived from. Quality assurance controls were performed as outlined in the method and as per Good Laboratory Practices.

SYMBOL MEANING

B Results based on counts outside the acceptable range.

D Measurement was made in the field.

IThe reported value is between the laboratory method detection limit and the laboratory practical

quantitation limit.

J1 The sample matrix interfered with the ability to make any accurate determination.

J2 No Quality Control criteria exist for the component.

J3 The data are questionable because of improper laboratory or field protocols.

L Off scale high. Actual value is known to be greater than value given.

N Presumptive evidence for the presence of material. There is an indication that the analyte is present,

but the confirmation requirement was not met.

O Sampled, but analysis not performed.

Q Sample held beyond the accepted holding time.

UIndicates that the compound was analyzed for but not detected. The specified component was not

detected. The reported value is the method detection limit.

V Analyte was detected in both sample and associated method blank. Data may not be accurate.

Y The laboratory analysis was from an improperly preserved sample. The data may not be accurate.

ZToo many colonies present (TNTC); the numeric value given represents the upper end of the value

that can be determined based on the volume.

?Data are rejected and should not be used. QC data for analyte did not meet acceptance criteria.

Presence or absence of analyte could not be confirmed.

** Not reported due to interference.

^ BCS is not currently accredited for this analyte.

# BCS Lab specific qualifier. See laboratory analysis notes.
